A member asked:
I have a internal stye a week ago, it's completely gone down but redness still appears on the area where the stye was, is it okay to wear contacts ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait a while: I would recommend waiting until all redness and discomfort goes away to start wearing contact lenses again.
